Whereas it appears that Police
Commissions in Ontario can levy at any level they wish in any particular
year, unless and until there is a budget agreement between said Commission
and the Region;

And whereas appeals to any
Regional constraint program not acceptable to the Police Commission
can cause said agreement to be delayed up to six months or more;

Therefore be it resolved
that the Province of Ontario be petitioned to change the applicable
police legislation, in order to cause agreement to be obligatory or
an appeal to be lodged by the Commission, not later than the last day
of February in any particular year;

And further, that where an
appeal is lodged successfully by the Police Commission, and where the
resoluting levy increase over the previous year is greater than Provincial
guidelines permit subsidy for, then the Province agree to increase the
percentage of subsidy in direct relation to the increased levy allowed
by its own Provincial agency (Ontario Police Commission).

That the Region request the
Province to take over Airport Road from its southerly limits to No.
9 Highway as a Provincial Highway and that the Counties of Dufferin

That no land in the Region
be released for draft approval unless a staff report is available outlining
the Regional financial implications for that growth, both capital and
